Print module
PX Q
for industrial use
Printing and labeling fully automatically in industrial applications
Full functionality, high reliability, comfortable operation and low downtime related to maintenance! The PX Q print and peel-off module has been designed specifically for printing and labeling fully automatically in industrial applications. It can be integrated in any orientation of assembly to solve even complex marking tasks.
A torsion-resistant cast aluminum construction is basis to assemble all the components of the print mechanics. Food-safe coating and stainless steel casings add to the perfect shape with special features. Screwing is compatible to the devices of competitors.

Directions of label transfer
All the print modules are provided as left-hand and right-hand versions. As for printable resolutions, PX Q users can choose from 300 and 600 dpi, the PX Q4.3 and PX Q6.3. offer 203 and 300 dpi.
SOTI Connect software enables label printers be configured and managed centrally.
The control panel of our printers can be operated in over 30 languages
1 Operation panel
Operating the device is intuitive and simple with the help of self-explanatory symbols to configure settings
2 Ribbon holder
Three-part tightening axles enable the ribbon to be replaced quickly and easily.
3 Rugged metal chassis
made of cast aluminum; basis to assemble all units
4 Plungers
One plunger is fixed on the inner side. A second one is moved that far to the label margin, until a good print image evokes.
5 Print head
All print heads are freely interchangeable at equal width. Easy replacement
6 Automatic ribbon saving (option)
The print head is lifted during label feed and the ribbon is stopped.
7 Print roller removal
It can be easily removed or inserted in the cases of cleaning or wear.
8 Simple replacement of materials
Label materials are inserted until lateral stop. The print head and wipe-down rollers are locked by levers.
9 Label sensor
A gap sensor or a reflective sensor position the imprint precisely on the label and detect the end of the material.
10 Material backfeed
After a label has been peeled off, the next one can be retracted to behind the print line. By this, the whole label can be printed and adhesive leaking is avoided during a longer pause. In case sensitive materials are processed and to prevent the ribbon from wrinkling, the print head can be lifted.
Imprint accuracy
The smaller a label, the higher are the requirements on the imprint accuracy. With the help of the adjustable slip correction, print offset can be reduced by ±0.2 mm.
Operation panel
Operating the device is intuitive and simple with the help of self-explanatory symbols to configure settings.
